Default dedicated phone answering-Answer My Phone

Hi All,
I came across this site when I googled "calls" and found myself in a forum!. This looks like a great site.
I have just started my business after working forever in the corporate world. I answer business's phones when they can't or want to spend as much time on their work as possible. This means that every call counts which is important when business's spend money to make them ring and want to grow their business's. I also make appointments, manage schedules and outbound campaigns.
I am looking for a small number of customers that are looking to outsource their phone answering, admin and marketing tasks that I can provide a fantastic service to.
I am finalising my website www.answermyphone.com.au. I haven't been able to drag myself from this site for the last hour or so...
I have just started marketing- so if any members have some tips or ideas on good customer segments for this service or a winning approach I'd love to hear them.

Look fwd to meeting you all. Nicci 0428645501

Hi Nicci

Congratulations on starting a business in such a vital area. It's so frustrating when you call a business and can't get hold of the person. Basically it makes me think: "Don't they WANT my business??"

The answering services that exist are hugely expensive so if you can offer a more affordable service, I think you'll be on to a winner, especially with soloists and small business operators that would like to have a presence during business hours when they may be otherwise engaged.

I'm taking a similar approach. I believe there are many business owners out there who feel they can't justify the investment in professional copywriting because it's considered to be 'expensive'. I look forward to filling those gaps.

If you need any help with copywriting, press releases, email wording and so on, I'd love to hear from you. If you'd just like to chat, drop me a line and we can compare notes!

All the best with AnswerMyPhone!!!
